Based on women’s experiences documented in Human Rights Watch’s report “I Wanted to Run Away: Abusive Dress Codes for Womenand Girls in Indonesia” (2021), this article argues that the institutional imposition of the jilbab in Indonesia restricts women’s bodilyautonomy and produces structural harm. Drawing on a feminist perspective and Iris Marion Young’s framework of the five faces ofoppression, the study examines how dress-code regulations enacted by local governments and educational institutions operateas mechanisms of oppression. The analysis is limited to cases reported by Human Rights Watch and does not address the broadermeanings or practices of wearing the hijab. Methodologically, the article combines a literature review with feminist standpointepistemology and Young’s concept of seriality to read women’s narratives as situated knowledge of structural injustice. The findingsidentify four dominant forms of oppression in the documented cases: marginalization, powerlessness, cultural imperialism, andviolence.
